Snowstorm Janus has been making a mess on the East Coast of the U.S. this last week. But the snowplows were out and about in New York City streets, and that's when things went terribly wrong for a familiar tech company.

A worker clearing snow Tuesday night apparently bumped their snow blower into one of the cube windows, which promptly shattered. The 32-foot window will be an expensive repair job -- the total system cost $7.6M USD to build; replacing the cracked panel in the southeast corner of the cube is expected to cost $450,000 USD.

Hopefully they bought the screen protection plan.

Incidentally, this is the first minor disaster to strike the popular Apple hub, which is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The store was also flooded back in May due to construction issues.
